Members pioneerprogress Posted December 12, 2010 Members Share Posted December 12, 2010 I should be a lot better than I am This. And its been 18 years since i "started". I gave up for a while and in a week or two it will be 14 years since i picked it back up. Whats bad is that the first three or four years after that i actually played every day, sometimes for hours. See what a job and a wife, and now a baby does to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Toshiro Posted December 12, 2010 Members Share Posted December 12, 2010 Thought just occurred to me it's been 20 years for me, I should be a lot better than I am Pretty much the same, 1991, and I should be way way better. Though sometimes I don't count from 1994 to 1998 when I was disillusioned with playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RiffDaemon Posted December 12, 2010 Members Share Posted December 12, 2010 5 years of directionless self-teaching. (e.g. wanking on down-stroked Metallica riffs and attempting solos with miserable results) 3.5 years of "forced" learning. (e.g. being asked to play lead guitar for an 80's coverband. You get so much better when you're under the gun ) 8.5 years total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LoopQuantum Posted December 12, 2010 Members Share Posted December 12, 2010 22 years. Got my first REAL guitar when I was 10. I've played almost everyday since, and I'm still a better keyboard player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brandenburg Posted December 12, 2010 Members Share Posted December 12, 2010 24 years since I picked the guitar up but in reality I probably have only really played 10 of those years.. I still suck,. but there are moments I think.. "If I really woodshed for a year or 2 I would be pretty good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
